The Reed of the Oboe
The Oboe uses double reeds, unlike the sax family and the clarinet family. This means that oboe reed cost more than the average single reed. But it is all worth it, because if the reed is kept safe, it can last for over 2 months until the sound goes sour. Whenever possible, buy hand-made reeds or make your own, instead of getting the machine made ones. Hand-Made reeds are more carefully made than factory reeds, and will most likely last a while longer than factory reeds.
The Sound of the Oboe
The Oboe has a very unique sound. Some would say that it is "Annoying" or "Horrible", but that means that you do not know the beauty of it. To Oboe players, the Oboe is a wonderful instrument, and, if the Oboe is tuned right, the musician can convey this majestic sound for their audience to hear.
